Just checking for sure, but is Toy Fair next weekend, as in Feb 15-17? I thought that's when it was, but I couldn't remember for sure. I wonder what we'll see now, beyond the first three TAC waves that we've now seen. Hopefully we'll at least get a look/confirmation on what is coming for Clone Wars, the AT-TE, and rumored Falcon (and some other OT goodness).

Yes, the fun begins next weekend...

Hasbro's Collector Media Day events are planned for Saturday, February 16th (from about 1pm EST to 6pm EST). Hopefully (if all goes according to plan), we should be able to start posting pictures and updates on Saturday evening.

As for the rest of the coverage (Gentle Giant, LEGO, etc), Toy Fair 2008 officially starts on Sunday, February 17th and runs through Wednesday February 20th.

INDIANA JONES

Hold on tight, because INDIANA JONES -- the world's most adventurous archeologist -- is donning his fedora and will be conquering the big screen once again this May, and Hasbro is along for the fun. With his trusty whip, well-worn leather jacket and an uncanny ability to attract trouble, Dr. Jones heads to points unknown in the upcoming INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL, from Lucasfilm Ltd. and Paramount Pictures, which arrives in theaters May 22. Hasbro captures all the edge-of-your-seat excitement with its new INDIANA JONES toy line.

Aspiring adventurers can also share the thrills with friends by navigating Indy through some of the movie series' most iconic escape scenes with the new INDY'S ULTIMATE ADVENTURE PLAYSET. (Approximate Retail Price: $39.99; Ages 5 & up; Available: Fall 2008)

Sweet only $99 for the AT-TE! I'm down for three for sure now and just might get the 5 total I wanted.

Sal, I actually saw this in person, it's huge! Are you sure you will have room for 5?

Oh yeah!The average diorama I have plans for are: 8'wide X 5'high X 4'deep. This will account for the Geonosis, Utapau and Coruscant ones for sure. The Felucia will be 6'wide X 3'high X 2'deep. The Coruscant dio is tentatviely marked up to be 4'wide X 3'high X 2'deep.

Plenty of room for them.

Though I may hold off on the 4th and 5th ones depending on how fast they fly off the shelves. If they sit, I may try to wait it out for a clearance. But if it looks like they are selling through, them I'll get the other two.

Strangely enough I actually want a sixth one to custom, but I don't think I could bring myself to taint this most awesome of prequel vehicles.

Partially off topic here, but my girlfriend and i went into the city last night for dinner (celebrate Valentine's a little early) and i drove passed the Javits Center and they are hard at work setting up for Toy Fair. Trailers were wrapped around the block and looking inside they already set up the floors with decorations and everything. Very exciting, can't wait for Sunday!
